Spotlight search is a powerful tool on macOS, helping you quickly find files, applications, and information on your computer. However, there are times when you might encounter issues where it doesn’t return the right results. When this happens, reindexing your system can be the solution to improve the accuracy of your searches. I

Step 1: Open Terminal as Root

Open Terminal on your macOS system. To perform system-level tasks, you’ll need to access the Terminal as the root user. You can do this with the following command:

sudo -s

Step 2: Turn Off Spotlight Indexing

Next, you’ll want to turn off indexing for Spotlight using the mdutil command. This command stops the indexing process for all volumes:

mdutil -a -i off

Step 3: Unload the Metadata Daemon

unload the Metadata Daemon service to make changes to the indexing process. Use the launchctl command with the unload option:

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

Step 4: Load the Metadata Daemon

After unloading the Metadata Daemon, you’ll need to load it again to apply the changes:

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

Step 5: Turn On Spotlight Indexing

Finally, turn on indexing for Spotlight again using the mdutil command:

mdutil -a -i on

Root Kindle Fire HD,

I followed the procedure described in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

• Download Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 from http://uploaded.net/file/0fpyh5c5
• Extract the 7zip file and execute RunMe.sh (if you using MAC/Linux)

$ ./RunMe.sh

Select the option 1) Normal

• Now your device is root’d, you may verify :

sh-3.2$ ./adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
shell@android:/ # cd /
shell@android:/ # ls

• Reboot  and do the installation for google play store

Install google play store 

Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893410

•  Open ES File Explorer, go to settings, Root settings , and select Root Explorer, Upto Root, and Mount File system.
• Download the GoogleServicesFramework.apk Vending.apk and Play.apk and copy to your sdcard.

GoogleServicesFramework.apk – mediafire.com/?zaumfwhraxcifqf
Vending.apk – mediafire.com/?31bn3e258jjpj8d
Play.apk – mediafire.com/?wwcqrlfwt8o1gnv

Please follow the below steps in order to get it working.

– Open ES file explorer, click and install GoogleServicesFramework.apk
– Then move the Vending.apk to /system/app
– Change the permission to 644 (User – Read/Write, Group/Others – Read)
– Now click and install Vending.apk
– You can see android market installed on your kindle, open it and do the google account registration. It is important that you do this step before installing Play.apk
– Once the registration is successful, click and install Play.apk from the sdcard.
– Now you will have a working play store , enjoy:)

Issues faced:

• While rooting,  I was not able to execute the adb under stuff folder, replace the adb with the one come with Android SDK.
• I got “google play has stopped” messages while opening google play . To fix it . 1) Make sure that you copied the Vending.apk to the correct path /system/app and the permissions are correct. 2) Do the google account registration before installing Play.apk

./arun

This usually happens with special characters in the file name, which the client cannot understand.

Just set proper locale in the client to fix this issues,

$ export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
// make sure the locale is properly set.
$ locale
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8

./arun

It is very often required that you need to commit/update to the svn repository which is only indirectly accessible through a gateway (user can ssh to gateway and gateway can ssh to internal svn server)

Suppose you have a working copy (locally on your machine)  setup with the real svn url (eg : svn+ssh://svn.example.com)

– Make ssh connection with local port forwarding to the gateway server

# sudo ssh gateway.example.com -L 22:svn.example.com:22

Change the repository url to localhost, since the local host connection forward to remote svn server through the gateway.

#cd <local_svn_path>

# svn switch –relocate svn+ssh://svn.example.com/trunk svn+ssh://localhost/trunk

Now you should be able to update, commit, etc to/from your repository.

You can switch it back to the original url when you have direct access to repository.

Set up the tunnel endpoints:

These IPv6 addresses are assigned by the tunnel broker.

• Add a default route for IPv6 traffic:

$ sudo route -n add -inet6 default tunnel_broker_ipv6_address


• To ensure IPv6 is enabled on the interface, use:

• Test your IPv6 connectivity:

Step 4: Configuration for Linux

The process is nearly identical on Linux:

• Confirm that the IPv6 module is present in the kernel:

• Create the tunnel:

Replace local with your public IP if directly assigned.

• Activate the tunnel:

• Assign an IP address to the interface:

• Add a default route for IPv6:

• Add a protocol family identifier:

With these steps, your MAC or Linux machine is now equipped with an IPv6 tunnel, allowing you to access IPv6 networks.
